Tale Of the Awful
Deeds Of the
Night Riders
In U.S.
:, Unio'.i City, Tenn., Dec. 21.—The
.prosecution' practically completed its
case today against the eight alleged
night riders, on trial for the murder
of Capt. Rankiiu when it drew from
Frank Fcheringer, a member of the
bind, _a detailed .statement of the
Rankin affair and a score or more of
their outrages. It also called to the
stand Mrs. Emma Thurman Johnson,
one of., the two women said to have
wen whipped by the band.
Mrs. Johnson had married John-son,
a man thirty years older than
herself, last August. She sued him
for divorce, charging cruelty. Early
in ..September :the riders- visited her
father's house, and left word that she
must withdraw the suit. She de-clined
to do so, and on a second visit
her , father was whipped..
Later the riders found Mrs. John-sou
at her sister's home. Mrs. John-son-
awoke beside her child to find
her,bedroom filled with masked and
armed .men,'one' of whom she recog-!
nizcd as Fred Pincon, one of "the de-fendants.
. "We have come to tell
you for the last time that you must
dismiss the divorce suit," Pincon is
chargp-d with saying. Mrs.. Johnson

"Without doubt thousands'of the
cases of infectious diseases that oc-:

are caused by ' niicro-organisms ab-sorbed,
into the system during rail-way

it would be difficult, to find a more
congenial home and breeding place
for microbes than the modern-up-holstered
sleeping car. Nearly all
disease-breeding bacilli thrive in mod-erately
warm and dimly lighted-sur-roundings.
Fresh air and abundance
of bright sunshine are detrimental to
their growth.
"Whenever a door is opened or

Flushing, N. Y., Dec. 21.—me trial
of Thornton J. Hains reached a cli-max
of dramatic interest today when
JIrs, Heleno Aunis. widow of W. E.
Annis, in a deliberate recital lasting
nearly three hours pictured the kill-ing
of her husband as he
sat at the tiller of his
boat by Captain Peter C, Hains, Jr.,
Mrs. Annis nearly fainting a few min-utes
before her examination was con-cluded.
She swayed -in her chair but quickly
recovered after drinking a glass of
water and smelling a vial of salts.
It was hard for the defense and
counsel, for Hains was exhausted
from the arduous cross examination
which was directed relentlessly at the
state's witness and in an effort to
shake their testimony Thornton Hains
lost much of the nonchalence that has
characterized his manner in previous
sessions and as he was led from, the
court by the two deputy sheriffs, the
prisoner appeared dejected and care-worn.
Garbed in a black cloth suit
andi wearing a wide ilaring hat that
cast a shadow over the upper part of
her face, Mrs. Annis made an impres-sive
figure on the stand as she told
in quiet tones her story of A.ugust
15th at the B&yside Yacht Club. Se-veral
hew points of evidence added
dramatic interest to the trial and
lawyers for the stata declared tonight
that they make for the certain convic

In U.S.
:, Unio'.i City, Tenn., Dec. 21.—The

night riders, on trial for the murder

Rankin affair and a score or more of
their outrages. It also called to the

Mrs. Johnson had married John-son,
a man thirty years older than
herself, last August. She sued him
for divorce, charging cruelty. Early
in ..September :the riders- visited her
father's house, and left word that she
must withdraw the suit. She de-clined
to do so, and on a second visit
her , father was whipped..
Later the riders found Mrs. John-sou
at her sister's home. Mrs. John-son-
awoke beside her child to find
her,bedroom filled with masked and
armed .men,'one' of whom she recog-!
nizcd as Fred Pincon, one of "the de-fendants.

"Without doubt thousands'of the

it would be difficult, to find a more

disease-breeding bacilli thrive in mod-erately

Fresh air and abundance
of bright sunshine are detrimental to
their growth.

Flushing, N. Y., Dec. 21.—me trial
of Thornton J. Hains reached a cli-max
of dramatic interest today when
JIrs, Heleno Aunis. widow of W. E.
Annis, in a deliberate recital lasting
nearly three hours pictured the kill-ing
of her husband as he
sat at the tiller of his
boat by Captain Peter C, Hains, Jr.,
Mrs. Annis nearly fainting a few min-utes
before her examination was con-cluded.
She swayed -in her chair but quickly
recovered after drinking a glass of
water and smelling a vial of salts.
It was hard for the defense and
counsel, for Hains was exhausted
from the arduous cross examination
which was directed relentlessly at the
state's witness and in an effort to
shake their testimony Thornton Hains
lost much of the nonchalence that has
characterized his manner in previous
sessions and as he was led from, the
court by the two deputy sheriffs, the
prisoner appeared dejected and care-worn.
Garbed in a black cloth suit
andi wearing a wide ilaring hat that
cast a shadow over the upper part of
her face, Mrs. Annis made an impres-sive
figure on the stand as she told
in quiet tones her story of A.ugust
15th at the B&yside Yacht Club. Se-veral
hew points of evidence added
dramatic interest to the trial and
lawyers for the stata declared tonight
that they make for the certain convic
